The children took part in sports day practice, trying out 5 different activities. They listened to instructions and took turns at each activity. The children used their gross motor skills and hand-eye coordination, trying over arm and under arm throws, balancing and running.
“I throwed really high”.
We have recently purchased an outdoor magnetic board along with magnetic numbers and letters suitable for outdoors. Children have been busy using the magnetic board in a variety of ways including trying to make their names using the letters and playing guessing games, quizzing their friends on each letter.
“M is my letter”. “I could make my name”. “My turn”.
Groups of children have been using their imaginations whilst playing outdoors in the mud kitchen and whilst digging in the quarry area. They’ve used their fine and gross motor skills and hand-eye coordination during play whilst scooping and transporting gravel between areas. In the mud kitchen children have used their creativity and gross and fine motor skills whilst mixing mud, sand and plants together. They’ve played a variety of imaginative games in the mud kitchen, including families.
“It’s an excavator”. “I’m making a house”.
Children took turns to make big bubbles outdoors and enjoyed observing and discussing the different sizes of bubbles they could create.
“It’s a massive one”!
